Full of history COLUMBUS, KY., population 200, was once a bustling steamboat and rail center on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. Against a backdrop of 120 ft. bluffs, the town was subject to flooding and of necessity, was moved by the Red Cross to the safety of those bluffs in 1927. Originally built as a hotel, Iron Banks was a family home until it was fully renovated by the Scott brothers and opened to the public in 2015.
